Prevailing hot conditions may give way for pleasant weather during the next few days but the presence of increased humidity could cause excessive sweating that could take a toll on your health. It could lead to muscle spasm, weakness, twitching or convulsion due to electrolyte imbalances.
Sweating regulates several chemicals and hormones in our body. These chemicals are called electrolytes, and the body's nervous system and muscle functions are dependent on the proper exchange of these electrolytic chemicals. But in case of excessive sweating, one can fall prey to severe cardiac and renal failure.
Electrolyte imbalance is caused by loss of sodium and potassium in form of sweat and could cause ailments like fluctuating blood pressure, irregular heartbeat and nervous system or bone disorders.
Those who are suffering from diabetes and various kidney problems get affected the most during the summers as they take heavy antibiotic tablets and injections which lead to more sweating as compared to other people.
People should avoid eating out and increase water intake to maintain the water balance in the body. Seasonal fruits and liquid diet should be consumed to stay fit and one should avoid going outdoors during peak hours. Extra salt and sugar, both are bad for health.
